Less snow falls during a warmer-then-normal winter in the Yellowstone ecosystem. The thinner snow cover on the ground allows for more plants to be visible than when the snow cover is thick. Some scientists predict that, over time, the average thickness of the snow cover in the Yellowstone ecosystem will decrease as global air temperatures increase. Predict a long-term effect of the reduced snow cover in the Yellowstone ecosystem on the beaver population. Be sure to support your prediction using evidence.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION
1 min • 1 pt
Scientists in a different area with an ecosystem similar to that of Yellowstone are considering different solutions for protecting trees in hopes of restoring the ecosystem to its previous levels of biodiversity. One scientist recommends placing fences that are two meters in height around areas of existing trees rather than introducing wolves to the ecosystem. Select one likely ADVANTAGE of using fences to protect the trees.
young trees would be able to grow to maturity
birds would have access to trees for building nests
the elk population would increase as the adult tree population would increase
beavers would be unable to access the trees for food and to build their shelters

Grizzly bears, black bears, eagles, and ravens are scavengers in the Yellowstone ecosystem. Based on the information, which statement explains how the reintroduction of wolves has most likely affected the populations of scavengers?
Scavenger populations likely decreased because wolves prey on scavengers
Scavenger populations likely decreased because wolves and scavengers compete for the same resources
Scavenger populations likely increased because wolves provide a food source for scavengers
Scavenger populations likely increased because wolves provide habitat for scavengers when the wolves create and abandon their dens
